Former South African President Nelson Mandela is spending a second night in hospital where he is being treated for a lung infection. Doctors say there has been little change and his condition continues to be described as serious but stable.

Mandela, 94, had been ill for some days before being transferred in the early hours of Saturday to a hospital in Pretoria.

It is the third time this year he has been admitted to hospital.  The BBC's Karen Allen in Pretoria says there is a sense of calm across South Africa, and also a quiet hope that the man who led the fight against apartheid may regain his strength once again.

Mandela's wife, Graca Machel, cancelled a scheduled appearance in London to remain at her husband's bedside.
